Little Italy

Nikki and Leo both grow up in "Little Italy" in Toronto, where their families are running a pizza business together. However, the verbal conflict between Sal and Vince (father of Nikki and Leo respectively) caused their pizza business to deteriorate, thus they founded their own pizza businesses next to each other's doors, resulting in Nikki leaving the family to go to London to study cooking. However, Chef Corinne temporarily gives Nikki a break for two weeks to give time for her to work on a cooking menu for the upcoming cooking exhibit.
